Harry Houdini performs for the eight grandchildren of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, at 167 East 74th Street in Manhattan, February 20, 1925
The party took place on at the home of Mrs HA Alexander, mother-in-law of Theodore Roosevelt Jr. The party guests were – Grace (13), Theodore the III (10), Cornelius (9), Quentin (5), Edith (9), Kermit Junior (9), Willard (7), and Clochette (5)
This was reported to be the first gathering of the eight grandchildren of the former President by his second marriage (two infant grandchildren did not attend). Chaperons of the party included the President’s widow and Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt.
so eerily perfect that Houdini died on Halloween
